The tech in cars these days is incredible. My parents have never owned a modern up to date car with most modern and technically advanced being a Mk3 Ford Mondeo diesel and has the basic Aux port, electronic adjustable seat height for the front two seats, cruise control and parking sensors but then when I see vids like this it's just like whoa. That in-built rear tablet is pretty neat and the adaptive cruise control is brilliant one thing dad hates about cruise control is that if you're going along a dual carriageway you're bound to come across someone going slower than you in the fast lane and he has to brake then resume the cruise control but to be able just to rely on the car to brake for you and match the speed of the car in front is pretty cool. I do wonder though with all the safety features is it just making car drivers lazy in a way and causing them more to rely on the cars technology than themselves? Obviously it's not made for purposely driving with no hands on the wheel but you're bound to get some drivers just thinking they can and that the car will do the job for them and then if they were to ever drive an older car again with out lane management would they still be able to drive safely without the technology?
This cars technology is insane!! BMW have done it and thrashed the S class and other flagship luxury sedans, the interior and exterior are much better than before too imo.
+John Bidigare Do you not understand, its unfair to compare this to an s class maybach. The Maybach is a completely different class which BMW don't have
It really is a remarkable car (as you can tell I am a Mercedes fan by the profile pic, and I own a new S class) but it all comes down to what you prefer. Both remarkable cars!
RETROGRADE _ Ofcourse it diddn't. Looks how it's stuttering and how he have to swipe multiple times for it to react. Imagine the day your key doesn't work because you forgot to charge it.......
Now I m gonna fall in love with this car. Truly outstanding. Class meets the luxury and the technology. I specially like the gesture control while accepting a call or taking the volume up. And the interior mood lights and last but not the list the KEY.. Truly cool man..
+Shmee150 you limit your options so much by going Cerulean Blue all the time dunno my opinion the next 675 should not have the same color just choose what you realy like.
I'm loving the tech on this, my college class is covering ICE systems and I'll show this video to my lecturer because we are clearly not learning about up to date enough tech lol !
+daniel55645 having control of your car on a phone? what happens to security? you lose your phone and then your car gets stolen too? not very safe or clever...
+daniel55645 Good point, but it's a nice touch. People might say its a gimmick but that's exactly what luxury is. It's not always about what you "need", sometimes it's just giving it a nice touch that makes the product just that more luxurious.
Then I was younger i watched this alot, I liked how much tech it had and was in awe how they could have a tablet ish thing in the middle seat and seat controls in it!
E A I’m a fan of the s class but this is giving me second thoughts especially the Samsung tablet which lets you control everything. Will be deciding between this and the 2018 s class in the next 3 days!
There is enough hardware to be able to drive whole car from key like James Bond. Only software mod is needed. If key is connected to car by bluetooth we could even use smartphone or smartwatch! *Future is now!*
+A Cat you can parked your car using the key, stop complaining... Let's say your in a crammed place, you get out of your car and park it, instead of squeezing yourself through the door. It's amazing!
+A Cat I guess knowing what the range of the car is before you get in it is useful. So you can check the fuel level from inside your house before you go on a trip. I'd probably find that useful. It is a bit silly though.
Ooooh, an oled panel on the key would make it look so much better you can see the outlines of the screen really reminds me of a bad phone, but it is only a key.
I have seen a couple of videos about this new BMW now, and I struggle to understand why almost in every video, the adaptive cruise control and lane assist are highlighted as much as they are. I mean come on, my 2013 Audi A3 got this in a safety package for ~ 1300€. If THAT is so noteworthy about this new 7 series, it only tells me that there is no real innovation at all, besides a huge key with a lagging interface.
Shmee you are the man, i like ur reviews as they are so natural and engaging, you choose the perfect weather to do reviews too. Basically - Shmee u smart! Excellent review.
you forgot to test the self parking mode which is pretty amazing in this car, I have very little place now in the basement and it's just eprfect with this car since it is fully parking itself.
Just drove in one of these, my first ever blast on the Autobahn, wow it was the diesel too. It was a test version so had a few quirks (noisy mirrors) but wow those lights, amazing and it was pretty peppy for a 3L diesel. Will also post the auto park feature too. We went on a little trip to Dresden. Love to drive in the gas version - you guys and your bloody diesels :)
***** well I googled it by myself and it seems that you are lying to me. An average salary in UK is 30k for males and 25k for females. And obviously nobody can save all the money, probably more than a half he/she will spent on a daily needs.
The battery is only for the special features... even if it is "empty" you can still lock and unlock the doors. There also is a "dock" to charge it via induction.
Im a bmw fan and i love bmw cars,but even new 2017 merc e class has better interior than this... and display on that key looks very very cheap and lags a lot...
+AstronGuy It is cheap. That display is using TN, because it has very poor viewing angles and bad colors. TN is only used on very cheap monitors and old smartphones.
I'm in Uruguay, you don't see this kind of cars on the streets. You don't even see them in car dealers. And if there is a chance of getting one of those in our country it will cost easily 10 times the original cost. It sucks! A 2015 or 2016 Mustang costs 70 thousand dollars here!!!
Its crazy, the only thing that never dies on BMWs is the turn signal bulbs. Even on 20+ old BMWs the signal bulbs are kept in brand new factory condition!
BENZ is setting standards that bmw just desperately trying to follow ,in matter of fact Non of the German cars can beat Swedish VOLVO in luxury ,safety and class but from germany BENZ is the cream on the top bmw lies down below audi and even volkswagen or opel
So you want to say Volvo > Mercedes > Audi > VW > Opel > BMW lmao, you must be an expert in analysing statstics, I bet you have never driven a BMW. The head to head battle is between Mercedes and BMW. Audi wants to participate and VW is the standard, a good car for a good price, thats why it is so famous in Germany (but with a boring design in my opinion). Forget your shitty Volvo or any other non german car. In the end it's a matter of taste. The main thing is that it is german engineered.
Is it just me who doesn't like all this complicated unnecessary shit that is creeping into cars of today. Give me a Manual gearbox, 4 wheels and an Engine and im happy as larry, none of this lane assist crap and auto rubbish keep it simple
+Tom Forrest - I imagine it's aimed more towards middle-aged, business class type folk who do a lot of motorway miles. I doubt there'll be too many people out there that wouldn't appreciate those features on the motorways, or in busy city traffic.
Always been a big fan of the Seven, but this just looks nuts! I'm guessing that the options list on that one must be pushing it close to £100k? Of course at that price most would go for the 750 or 760 I would imagine.
+Samuel Bharksuwan Tesla is not more advanced. There are ALOT of things this car can do that the tesla can't. Tesla just has an electric motor, that's basically it. You can get the active hydrid 7 if you're really into that kinda thing.
s b How do I know? the features on these cars are public knowledge. I don't have to own a tesla to know the features. Also, how can the features on the BMW be "expected" and "ordinary" when they're literally world firsts? (ie. never before seen on any car in history)
+jamviator ability to turn things on and off with a tablet, lane keeping, a bad attempt to keep it in the lane when the road is curved, a remote that reminds me of an android phone where lots of info but little meanings, finger gestures with just 3 commands that barely work reliably. All these are good features but not a break through or amazing. Reading and forming opinion about a tesla is like trying to taste a fine wine by reading about it. This BMW and a tesla and the MB S class were on my list of cars to buy for the last 3 months and I have seen them all, and now I am proud owner of a Tesla and I must say, it reminds me of when the first iPhone came out, it redefined smart phones. Tesla is the first iPhone of cars. Why do you think the Koenig Segg owner bought one 6-7years ago. BMW knows it and it's trying to compete, hence a rumor about series 9
s b The 9 series is not being made because of tesla. Trust me on that one. It's not going to be a regular commuter vehicle like the model s. It's more like a Rolls Royce Ghost replacement. The difference in quality will be astronomical as it is between this 7 series and the model s. There are alot of other features that you haven't mentioned. (And that you probably don't even know about) Like reading street signs and responding accordingly. But I'm not going to argue with you, you think a model s is more advanced than a 7 series, a car that the tesla has borrowed countless technologies from to begin with. I'm not saying the tesla isn't a great car. It's a statement for what the future of automotive propulsion will be, but it's not more advanced than the 7 series. By the way, BMW is ironically one of the foremost manufacturers in the realm of electric cars and they're actually doing quite well for a company that's not built exclusively on the idea of electric cars like tesla. I totally understand you choosing the tesla over the 7, but it depends on what you want. And alot of people will have your options and still end up choosing the 7 series.
It's like he no longer uses GoPros for his in car video recording. I'm seeing something like a Sony ASV mini camera on a suction mount inside the windshield & on the driver side glass. Thinking of ordering the GoPro Hero 4 session though for my in-car videos.

can you imagine how big the instruction manual is for this car
Exactly my thoughts!!
David Lennox hahaa yeaa
Lol. It was big on our old E65 back in 2003. You even got a DVD with it.. It wouldn't surprise me if you had to download one for the G11

fuck this guy and fuck u all
"I dropped my key" can't unlock your car anymore
Lucas Firestone you can use your phone to unlock your car since the 2013 models
This cars technology is insane!! BMW have done it and thrashed the S class and other flagship luxury sedans, the interior and exterior are much better than before too imo.
I agree
agree!
+John Bidigare Do you not understand, its unfair to compare this to an s class maybach. The Maybach is a completely different class which BMW don't have
It really is a remarkable car (as you can tell I am a Mercedes fan by the profile pic, and I own a new S class) but it all comes down to what you prefer. Both remarkable cars!
Samuel Abraham Agreed!
hands free gestures are awesome...really neat that tech stuff are making their way in to cars.
That key is nuts :)
+funbus But it looks like the touch screen doesn't respond that well and the hardware too slow for running the software.
+philip s (Dishano) maybe the camera made the key seem slower
RETROGRADE _ Ofcourse it diddn't. Looks how it's stuttering and how he have to swipe multiple times for it to react. Imagine the day your key doesn't work because you forgot to charge it.......
+philip s (Dishano) It works great. I don't know what's wrong with Shmee's fingers though
+funbus They've come a long way since you could take your car key to a key cutters to get another one made up... I'd hate to drop this one!
11:15 dont try this at home... oh man.. was just gonna start driving hands free in my flat
Lol I like how u say do not try this at home when u cant
haha lol
+Taylor Pantall-burgess
at your car LOL
😂
Now I m gonna fall in love with this car. Truly outstanding. Class meets the luxury and the technology. I specially like the gesture control while accepting a call or taking the volume up. And the interior mood lights and last but not the list the KEY.. Truly cool man..
Tim, on a scale from 1-10 how MSO Cerulean Blue is your 675LT Spider gonna be?
+Henris Ivaskevicius I don't even know!
+Shmee150 LIAR！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！
+Shmee150 you limit your options so much by going Cerulean Blue all the time dunno my opinion the next 675 should not have the same color just choose what you realy like.
+ED kratos Trust me, I will go for the colour of my choosing!
Shmee150 thats good ill hope you will suprise me this time with the color! :)
Most beautiful car I've ever seen. I love it.
what's up with the slow loading of the key and in car tablet program?
All this money and the software from 8 years back?
noticed that too
no its from Samsung unfortunally....
+No Way It's one of the first to feature a key with a display, don't expect it to be as fast as a Nexus or as smooth as an iPhone.
+No Way the tablet is removable but shmee either didn't know or didn't show it.
+Magma Gamer ...the people who make some of the fastest mobile hardware on the market, including the CPU's found in most iPhones.
The preconditioning ventilates the car to help mitigate the build up of hot air in the car. You can set two times.
I'm loving the tech on this, my college class is covering ICE systems and I'll show this video to my lecturer because we are clearly not learning about up to date enough tech lol !
This 7 Series has been specced quite well with those M Sport wheels. It looks awesome.
The key is sick!
i watched this video when i was still a kid. i remember being in awe of a key with a touch screen on it. so nostalgic
why the hell do you need all that on a key fob??? Should just have a BMW app on your phone for all that.
They won't be able to change you thousands of pounds, when you lose your key, if they do that.
Motorhead That's the first thing I thought of as well was how much that thing is going to cost if you need a replacement.
+daniel55645 having control of your car on a phone? what happens to security? you lose your phone and then your car gets stolen too? not very safe or clever...
+Mulkyan it is called a password .....
+daniel55645 Good point, but it's a nice touch. People might say its a gimmick but that's exactly what luxury is. It's not always about what you "need", sometimes it's just giving it a nice touch that makes the product just that more luxurious.
That car is like a space ship!! The back seat is like a first class seat on a plane!!
Scott Clark
👍🏻🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Meanwhile im sitting here hoping to be able to buy a 3series one day...
Same here..
you lease these cars, not buy
+Raul Bonilla Navarro Very true. They are not designed to be worked on by the owner and are purposely built to make the dealership money
Get a certified because maintenance price does not change but you can get a reasonable price. Maybe 30k with warranty and service
+Impala Daily 30k ?? dude 3 series start at $3600 basic . u arent talking about ur nice chevy cavalier lol
Then I was younger i watched this alot, I liked how much tech it had and was in awe how they could have a tablet ish thing in the middle seat and seat controls in it!
Soon the keys are going to have camera options and people are going to be taking selfies
I would stay in the car for around one week just playing around with all of the gadgets and features...awesome! Thanks for review
i am a Mercedes fan boy, but shit,this car is future.
E A I’m a fan of the s class but this is giving me second thoughts especially the Samsung tablet which lets you control everything. Will be deciding between this and the 2018 s class in the next 3 days!
Very good car
I am a Mercedes fanboi I love their cars
BMW doesn’t know how to make the interior properly, even Peugeot 3008 is a lot more futuristic than Beemer
ruclips.net/video/BZ_D2olZr_k/видео.html , this is future.
BMW thought of everything. The key is amazing, the radio is cool as hell and those shades in the back.
Curious to see how all this technology will hold up over time

@@Cyan__ lmaooo
Sat in a 730LD today, so comfortable and roomy and the gesture control is so fun to mess about with, Bmw did a great job here
This seems like a concept car. I can imagine half of the gimmicks not working after 10 years of normal use.
From having a mk2 7 series and been amazed in seeing the reck back in the 80s and now it's so amazing
+Saabkyle04 must be jealous :D
.
+Can Tavukçuoğlu Why? He just reviewed a LaFerrari a couple of days ago x)
+Chris S True.
+Chris S Shmee lives with an LT...
Chris S This car has much more toys than LaFerrari. LaFerrari review should be about drifting not climate controls
I could almost see how smooth of a drive it has...whoa
how much does a new key cost wen you lose it?
I dont Know but i Would Expect Like 250$
+Miklas Krys Nope, the car key of my 2010 BMW E92 cost already 200$!
I guess 600$ or even more...
+adj789 Losing it would be the best thing that ever happen to you. Cheer up! :)
+adj789 if you are thinking about plebian stuff like this, you are not the intended customer for this.
Mulkyan ya I know that but I want to no what an expensive piece of equipment like that costs
liking that key fob
Amazing car, with automatic features! But i still prefer manual gearbox, doing my own thing you know XD You don't get tired doing long driving though!
BMW for the win!
"Don't try this at home" when am I going to be travelling at 70mph approaching a bend in a brand new bmw in my house?
good one hahaha!
I like the lane help feature. Makes it easier to drink and drive.
OMG YOU NEED TO CHARGE THE KEY
Just imagine how much fun you'd have with the kids in the back of the car adjusting the seat positions for the front.
There is enough hardware to be able to drive whole car from key like James Bond.
Only software mod is needed.
If key is connected to car by bluetooth we could even use smartphone or smartwatch!
*Future is now!*
Nope, whole world can be destroyed by hacker.
Nukes, financials, communication, food sources, everything controlled by computers.
I absolutely love this car, amazing piece of work
Remember when Keys used to be something that you put into your door to unlock, not something that could drive the car itself.
I own a 750I version of this car and it has even more tech. Same year 2016 G12 and I LOVE it. Everything about it. Especially the 455 HP
So funny, watching this video about a BMW, and get an ad for Volkswagen.
hahaha xD
i bet you laughed your ass off
Got an ad for Toyota
they are both german engineered vehicles. makes sense to me.
Merobieboy I got a Lexus commercial
I use Adblock. I don't see any commercials :'(
He used the turn indicators!!
the key is just a gimic, you dont need all that information... you just need a key for christ sake
+A Cat Being able to adjust the temperature before you get in the car is NOT a gimmick
thats probably the only useful feature... hoenstly name anything else? like oil and all that crap that should be checked anyway not via a key
+A Cat you can parked your car using the key, stop complaining... Let's say your in a crammed place, you get out of your car and park it, instead of squeezing yourself through the door. It's amazing!
+A Cat I guess knowing what the range of the car is before you get in it is useful. So you can check the fuel level from inside your house before you go on a trip. I'd probably find that useful. It is a bit silly though.
Tom Watts
but again im sure you normally always know roughly how much fuel is in your car... i know some features are useable but not really useful
The active cruise system is good - it comes standard on VW Golfs :)
I love bmw 7s
Ooooh, an oled panel on the key would make it look so much better you can see the outlines of the screen really reminds me of a bad phone, but it is only a key.
everything is cool but the steering wheel is on the wrong site! that's a major fail from BMW
No it's on the right side
UK cars are right hand drive lmao
U have to be joking
+Roberts Eihmanis 😁😉
+Danny Smith hahahahahhaha god damn this is pure ignorance wow
I just love the right hand side..looks amazing..
I have seen a couple of videos about this new BMW now, and I struggle to understand why almost in every video, the adaptive cruise control and lane assist are highlighted as much as they are.
I mean come on, my 2013 Audi A3 got this in a safety package for ~ 1300€. If THAT is so noteworthy about this new 7 series, it only tells me that there is no real innovation at all, besides a huge key with a lagging interface.

you forgot to test the self parking mode which is pretty amazing in this car, I have very little place now in the basement and it's just eprfect with this car since it is fully parking itself.
How does he get these cars and review them... Like does he go to a dealer and ask them to borrow it to do a youtube vid coz im a youtuber...?
+Abdallah Farooq He has some reputation in BMW cuz he owned lots of those, his lastest was a X6 M50d.
+Ljubica Djurovic he didn't own any BMWs. He is a "journalist" and gets these cars.
+Ljubica Djurovic that wasn't his car it was just a loaner
+Abdallah Farooq All you gotta' do is go to the manufacturer and tell em' you have a YT channel where you review cars and they'll just give you one.
+Po Russki He owned an X6.
Just drove in one of these, my first ever blast on the Autobahn, wow it was the diesel too. It was a test version so had a few quirks (noisy mirrors) but wow those lights, amazing and it was pretty peppy for a 3L diesel. Will also post the auto park feature too. We went on a little trip to Dresden. Love to drive in the gas version - you guys and your bloody diesels :)
For how long an average person in UK shoul save money to buy this car?
For eternity!
I'd prefer an old Jag or a Wolsy.

More one year and a half I'd say.

first time visiting your channel really pllease with the production and the pacing of the video at no point did i feel bored top job man
only 261hp?????
+Cole Ellicott thats the 730 .. you can get 740 and 750 which have much more hp
And a 760, biggest one I'll guess.

+supa hot fire V12? Wow
xEliteKingx yep the 6th Generation bmw 760 produced 535BHP .. it's a beast
Crazy that the 7 series is one of Shmee most popular car video 😂
having to charge the KEY is not the kind of tech I need. and definitely not for my wife and children who can't keep their phones charged.
The battery is only for the special features... even if it is "empty" you can still lock and unlock the doors.
There also is a "dock" to charge it via induction.
Ox Bone it charges wirelessly within the car.
the head lights are so sharp and good.
Im a bmw fan and i love bmw cars,but even new 2017 merc e class has better interior than this... and display on that key looks very very cheap and lags a lot...
don't agree at all lol
+AstronGuy It is cheap. That display is using TN, because it has very poor viewing angles and bad colors. TN is only used on very cheap monitors and old smartphones.
+Valters Saulājs just your opinion tbh,
+Valters Saulājs its just a key anyway, the main focus is the car
+AstronGuy if you can't see how bad it is, you have never seen a decent display..
Everything is glowing, feels like a Mass Effect car interior. :)
Theres one thing I have to say. You are driving at wrong side of road. ;)
BMW the ultimate Driving machine, I mean the ultimate sitting in the back seat chauffeuring machine. good job
That's so fucking beautiful. I hate my country. :(
Love this car
I in England
I'm in Uruguay, you don't see this kind of cars on the streets. You don't even see them in car dealers. And if there is a chance of getting one of those in our country it will cost easily 10 times the original cost. It sucks! A 2015 or 2016 Mustang costs 70 thousand dollars here!!!
that sad ...i was wondering if u can rent or buy it out uruguay and bring it in
Ato Nympha

😂😂 first timer here... when I heard him say "Hi, I'm shmee", honestly. That caught me of guard.
personaly i'd prefer an ipad running ios instead of andriod
+karl owens Personally, I wouldn't even care. The important thing is that there's something rather than nothing.
FDTF true
Android is open unlike IOS that's why they've used it. Easy to put all the BMW software on it.
Daniel Willis yeah i suppose
Irishcarspotting dude android is better and that fact has been proven
Its crazy, the only thing that never dies on BMWs is the turn signal bulbs. Even on 20+ old BMWs the signal bulbs are kept in brand new factory condition!
Must be a damaged model, they put the Steeringwheel on the wrong side
Splash in the uk or somewhere around there the roads are switched and so are the steering wheels
Sports In The Driveway So they send a damaged model on purpose?
- It's on the correct side ..
rahulgosh1 No its not, I just got off my car and it was on the left side, which is the right side
Splash - Then yours is defiantly the wrong side .. lol
Great video, really neat to see something a little different from the Super car norms, if there is such a thing!
hello person scrolling down the comments
Manosha Karim Elberier hey
Finally! M style in a 7 series! We waited too long for this....we are now waiting for the first M7 to be launched....
They're probably not his cars its hard s friends
iiiiiiiiiiiBMW1990
Lol hater
I think the coolest thing in the car would be the air con!
ok
Absolutely love the new BMW 7 series
does this beat mercedes?
i think the 7 chases after the s when it comes to luxury
Ato Nympha nope, Mercedes maybach s600 way better than this in luxury and also in power
Bmw will never come even close to BENZ in any way dude ...its a crack dealers and hood ghetto car - BENZ IS A CLASS
BENZ is setting standards that bmw just desperately trying to follow ,in matter of fact Non of the German cars can beat Swedish VOLVO in luxury ,safety and class but from germany BENZ is the cream on the top bmw lies down below audi and even volkswagen or opel
So you want to say Volvo > Mercedes > Audi > VW > Opel > BMW
lmao, you must be an expert in analysing statstics, I bet you have never driven a BMW. The head to head battle is between Mercedes and BMW. Audi wants to participate and VW is the standard, a good car for a good price, thats why it is so famous in Germany (but with a boring design in my opinion). Forget your shitty Volvo or any other non german car. In the end it's a matter of taste. The main thing is that it is german engineered.
What a masterpiece wow!
the s class is way better
Amazing tech fest!
Is it just me who doesn't like all this complicated unnecessary shit that is creeping into cars of today. Give me a Manual gearbox, 4 wheels and an Engine and im happy as larry, none of this lane assist crap and auto rubbish keep it simple
+Tom Forrest - I imagine it's aimed more towards middle-aged, business class type folk who do a lot of motorway miles. I doubt there'll be too many people out there that wouldn't appreciate those features on the motorways, or in busy city traffic.
+Tom Forrest This is a luxury limousine. Not a sports car...
isn't that why there are other options?
+Tom Forrest This is not sports car like Lambo, Ferrari and mclarren.. this is Luxury sedan car.. *facepalm*
I recommend buying a Ford model T in black. You will definitely get that authentic driving experience without any tech gimmicks.
Lucky bastard coming to London to drive an awesome car
Bmw is so basic with their body design!!!! -.-
That's how a car should look like
its not basic its clean and not over done
+That would be Illegal Totally agreed.
different people with different tastes, bmw is only for smart people anyway ;=)
Joshua Ochoa you can't even afford this car.
Always been a big fan of the Seven, but this just looks nuts! I'm guessing that the options list on that one must be pushing it close to £100k? Of course at that price most would go for the 750 or 760 I would imagine.
Tesla is more advanced. This car has a lot of useless gimmicks.
+Samuel Bharksuwan Tesla is not more advanced. There are ALOT of things this car can do that the tesla can't. Tesla just has an electric motor, that's basically it. You can get the active hydrid 7 if you're really into that kinda thing.
+jamviator how do you know. Do you have a Tesla? Features in BMW seems ... Expected, ordinary.
s b How do I know? the features on these cars are public knowledge. I don't have to own a tesla to know the features.
Also, how can the features on the BMW be "expected" and "ordinary" when they're literally world firsts? (ie. never before seen on any car in history)
+jamviator ability to turn things on and off with a tablet, lane keeping, a bad attempt to keep it in the lane when the road is curved, a remote that reminds me of an android phone where lots of info but little meanings, finger gestures with just 3 commands that barely work reliably. All these are good features but not a break through or amazing. Reading and forming opinion about a tesla is like trying to taste a fine wine by reading about it. This BMW and a tesla and the MB S class were on my list of cars to buy for the last 3 months and I have seen them all, and now I am proud owner of a Tesla and I must say, it reminds me of when the first iPhone came out, it redefined smart phones. Tesla is the first iPhone of cars. Why do you think the Koenig Segg owner bought one 6-7years ago. BMW knows it and it's trying to compete, hence a rumor about series 9
s b The 9 series is not being made because of tesla. Trust me on that one. It's not going to be a regular commuter vehicle like the model s. It's more like a Rolls Royce Ghost replacement. The difference in quality will be astronomical as it is between this 7 series and the model s.
There are alot of other features that you haven't mentioned. (And that you probably don't even know about) Like reading street signs and responding accordingly.
But I'm not going to argue with you, you think a model s is more advanced than a 7 series, a car that the tesla has borrowed countless technologies from to begin with.
I'm not saying the tesla isn't a great car. It's a statement for what the future of automotive propulsion will be, but it's not more advanced than the 7 series. By the way, BMW is ironically one of the foremost manufacturers in the realm of electric cars and they're actually doing quite well for a company that's not built exclusively on the idea of electric cars like tesla.
I totally understand you choosing the tesla over the 7, but it depends on what you want. And alot of people will have your options and still end up choosing the 7 series.
just got it. it's pure perfection
It simply will never have the class of an S-Class. Never.
It's like he no longer uses GoPros for his in car video recording. I'm seeing something like a Sony ASV mini camera on a suction mount inside the windshield & on the driver side glass. Thinking of ordering the GoPro Hero 4 session though for my in-car videos.
beautiful machinery. Excellent review
